Thank you Diow and Tomm for the great hospitality throughout my stay at your apartment.
*Stylish: The apartment looks exactly like what you see on the photos: well maintained furniture, clean, and nice view from the living room’s and bedroom’s windows (floor 11). In real, this apartment is better than what you see in the photos. Believe me!
*Hospitality: Diow and Tomm were so kind during my stay helping me preparing lunch and dinner for my auntie while I was away from the apartment. Tomm is a good cook and she took care of every concern in my auntie’s meal due to her health conditions and even brought the meal right to the door. I can’t express how much thankful to Diow and Tomm.
*Location: It’s super convenient. The condo is only 5 mns walk (slow walk) to Terminal 21 and Sukhumvit MRT (underground train). From there, you can go to Hua LamPhong (Chinatown), Silom, Khlong Toei (wet matket), Chatuchak Weekend Market (get off at Kamphaen Phet station to be right in the middle of the market); all in one line - MRT Blue Line.
***Tips: Due to travelling with the elders, I had to take a lot of regular taxi and tuk tuk. Always remember to bargain from half of the price they ask for. One time I asked the taxi driver to turn on the meter and he dropped me at the wrong side of Khlong Toei market which is quiet and dirty.
I did take a lot of Grab too. A lot of time the driver missed me due to the pick up location was not a well known spot or on the main road which they can’t pull in or slow down to look for me. Bear in mind that it’s very hard for the driver in Bangkok to do u-turn due to the rule of one way traffic. As a result of it, the waiting time for a Grab taxi is usually 30mns + which was not pleasant at all for the elders to wait in the heat and sunshine. Remember to always pick a popular spot as your current location when booking a Grab.
If you’re planning on using public transport, you will have to take a lot of stairs and walking. It’s not easy to find a lift to go up to the pedestrian bridges so take note of it if you’re taking the elders to Bangkok.
——> Overall, Diow and Tomm’s apartment is beautiful and their hospitality is superb. I will definitely stay at their apartment again and again whenever I travel to Bangkok.
